Fleet Telematics Expansion & Driver Safety Monitoring
Fleet Safety · Public Works Technology
High Priority
About this project
The county has experienced multiple fleet-involved accidents, liability lawsuits, and rising self-insurance costs, signaling an urgent need for enhanced driver safety oversight. Existing telematics infrastructure requires expansion to include integrated dash cameras and driver monitoring to close safety gaps and reduce ongoing liability exposure.
The opportunity
Approved budget increases for fleet maintenance and vehicle capital outlays, combined with an approaching fiscal year end, create a time-sensitive window to act. Procurement pathways through established cooperative contracts streamline acquisition, enabling faster deployment and measurable reductions in risk and cost to the public.

Discuss this project →Cybersecurity & Identity Access Management Modernization
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Multi-factor authentication for critical systems is underway alongside security governance development, network failover, and backup upgrades — signaling a broad cybersecurity modernization effort. Gaps in identity access management and security controls elevate risk to county operations, sensitive data, and compliance with applicable mandates.
The opportunity
A newly appointed CIO and confirmed increases in IT project spending create a near-term window to advance security initiatives. Federal justice assistance grant funding aligned with cybersecurity is available in the current cycle, and the upcoming fiscal year supports budget alignment for identity and access management improvements.

Discuss this project →Legacy Infrastructure Modernization and Cloud Migration
IT Modernization · Cloud Infrastructure
High Priority
About this project
The county is actively migrating legacy systems to the cloud while addressing gaps in backup systems and network failover capabilities. These infrastructure deficiencies elevate operational risk, threatening service continuity for residents and staff if systems fail or are compromised.
The opportunity
A confirmed IT budget allocation and incoming CIO leadership in 2025 create a strong window for advancing modernization priorities within the current fiscal cycle. Acting now aligns with active spending authority, reduces continuity risk, and positions the county for state cooperative procurement pathways.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county faces compounding emergency preparedness gaps: an EOP of unknown age and review status, unresolved public concerns about Bolivar Peninsula evacuation readiness, and an existing mass notification system with unclear renewal standing. These conditions create simultaneous compliance exposure under NIMS and EOP mandates and measurable operational risk to residents during critical events.
The opportunity
The uncertain renewal status of the current emergency communication platform creates a near-term window to evaluate, modernize, or expand capabilities before a service gap emerges. Emergency management grants are available to eligible counties and align with this initiative, offering a funding pathway that complements the upcoming fiscal planning cycle.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Public-facing digital portals must meet ADA, Section 508, and WCAG 2.1 accessibility standards, and current compliance gaps create legal exposure and barriers to equitable public access. Unresolved deficiencies risk civil complaints, audit findings, and exclusion of residents with disabilities from essential county services.
The opportunity
With fiscal year-end approaching and technology spending on an upward trend, near-term budget alignment exists to remediate accessibility gaps before compliance pressure escalates. Acting now reduces legal liability, broadens public access, and positions the county to meet federal and state digital equity expectations.
